Cuterebra austeni Sabrosky causes cutaneous myiasis in white-throated woodrats, Neotoma albigula, in the southwestern United States. In central and southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, this species is bivoltine. Adult flies are active at hilltop aggregation sites from early spring through mid-May and again to a lesser extent in the fall months. Eggs produced from laboratory matings of adult flies hatched in response to warm breath (34-36 degrees C) 6-8 d after oviposition. Oviposition takes place around burrow entrances and near the bases of Opuntia cacti. In the wild, myiasis occurs in woodrats primarily during the spring months, with a small second peak during the fall. Larvae develop in cutaneous warbles in the sternal and the ventral cervical area of N. albigula and complete development in 33 d. Woodrats do not appear to be affected seriously by the presence of 1-5 larvae. Morphological changes in larvae and pupae are described through to adult eclosion.
奥氏黄蝇（Cuterebra austeni Sabrosky）在美国西南部的白喉林鼠（Neotoma albigula）身上引发皮肤蝇蛆病。在亚利桑那州中部和南部以及新墨西哥州西南部，该物种一年繁殖两代。成年苍蝇从早春到五月中旬在山顶聚集点活动，秋季也有一定程度的活动。实验室饲养的成年苍蝇交配后产下的卵在产卵6 - 8天后，对温暖气息（34 - 36摄氏度）有反应而孵化。产卵发生在洞穴入口周围和仙人掌基部附近。在野外，蝇蛆病主要在春季发生在林鼠身上，秋季有一个小的次高峰。幼虫在白喉林鼠胸骨和颈部腹侧区域的皮肤肿块中发育，并在33天内完成发育。林鼠似乎不会因1 - 5只幼虫的存在而受到严重影响。描述了幼虫和蛹直至成虫羽化的形态变化。
